The city was considered part of the early 20th century Gold Coast of the North Shore, as the areas along the waterfront were developed as large country estates by wealthy entrepreneurs and businessmen such as J.P. Morgan, Phipps, Pratt, and Prybil.[3] Glen Cove also had manufacturing and a diverse population that worked in industry, local agriculture and retail businesses. Of Nassau County's five municipalities, Glen Cove is one of the two municipalities that is a city, rather than a town, the other being Long Beach on the South Shore.

The city was the location of several successful manufacturing facilities in the 20th century. It attracted numerous immigrants from Ireland, Italy, and eastern Europe. More recently, it has been settled by immigrants of later migrations, from Central and South America, and Asia.

History

Succeeding cultures of indigenous peoples had lived in the area for thousands of years. At the time of European contact, bands of the Lenape (Delaware) nation inhabited western Long Island, the areas of New York and New Jersey around the harbor, and along the coast through present-day Pennsylvania and Delaware, as well as along the Delaware River. They spoke an Algonquian language. By 1600 the band inhabiting this local area was called the Matinecock after their location.

Glen Cove was used as a port by English migrants from New England and named Moscheto before 1668. On May 24, 1668, Joseph Carpenter of Warwick, Rhode Island purchased about 2,000 acres (8.1 km2) of land to the northwest of the Town of Oyster Bay from the Matinecock. Later in that year, he admitted four residents of Oyster Bay as co-partners in the project: brothers Nathaniel, Daniel, and Robert Coles; and Nicholas Simkins. The five young men named the settlement Musketa Cove Plantation, musketa meaning place of rushes in the Lenape language.[4]

19th century

In the 1830s, steamboats started regular service on Long Island Sound between New York City and Musketa Cove, arriving at a point still called The Landing. As Musketa was negatively associated with mosquito, in 1834 residents changed the name to Glen Cove; this was said to be taken from the misheard suggestion of Glencoe, meaning Glencoe, Scotland.[5][6]

Glen Cove added population as workers arrived for jobs at the Duryea Corn Starch factory, which operated until 1900. The name Duryea was suggested as a name to replace Mosquito Cove but rejected.[7]

By 1850, Glen Cove had become a popular summer resort for New York City residents. The Long Island Rail Road was extended to Glen Cove in 1867, providing quicker, more frequent service to New York City. The availability of the train and the town's location on Long Island Sound made it attractive to year-round residents, and the population increased.[4]

The vistas afforded of Long Island Sound from the town's rolling hills attracted late 19th-century wealthy industrial barons, including Charles Pratt and his sons, Charles Anderson Dana as well as J.P. Morgan, and F.W. Woolworth. They built large private estates along the island's North Shore. This expanse of settled wealth was part of what became known in the 1920s as the Gold Coast of Nassau County. Part of the Morgan property was donated to the city, and it now is operated as Morgan Park and Beach.[4]

20th century

On January 1, 1918, Glen Cove became an independent city, separating from the Town of Oyster Bay after 250 years. The incorporation was driven by a desire for its tax revenues to be used locally, rather than distributed throughout Oyster Bay. Glen Cove at the time was an especially wealthy part of the town, but the town's provisions for Glen Cove's police service and roads were seen to be inadequate given the amount of taxes levied.[8] It was unusual in that it incorporated as a city without ever having been an incorporated village.[9]

Before the mid-20th century, most of the mansions were adapted to other than residential purposes. Winfield Hall, the former home of F.W. Woolworth, is privately owned.

Altogether, five Pratt families owned a total of about 5,000 acres (20 km2) in the area. John Teele Pratt's estate (The Manor, designed by Charles A. Platt) is operated as the Glen Cove Mansion Hotel and Conference Center.

The Braes, the country estate of Herbert L. Pratt, was purchased by the Webb Institute in 1945. After renovation, it opened the facility in 1947 as an established specialty college for naval architecture and engineering.[10]

George DuPont Pratt's estate Killenworth was purchased by the Soviet Union government in 1951 for use by its United Nations delegation. The Russians have used it for decades to house visitors and as a weekend retreat for its UN staff. When in the United States for meetings at the United Nations, Nikita Khrushchev in 1960, then premier of the Soviet Union, and Fidel Castro, then president of Cuba, separately stayed at Killenworth.

Like many other suburbs, Glen Cove grew rapidly in population after World War II when new residential developments were completed on former pastureland and farms. Many new residents were second- and third-generation descendants of eastern and southern European immigrants, and had moved from childhood homes in Queens or Brooklyn. Some African Americans were descendants of slaves from the colonial period, as colonists had used slaves for domestic help and farm labor; others were descendants of migrants from the South who came to New York City and the area during the Great Migration of the first half of the 20th century.

Since the late 20th century, immigrants to the city have been generally from Latin America and eastern Asia. A Sikh gurdwara established in Glen Cove draws members from the ethnic Indian population in the area.

Education

Public schools

The city of Glen Cove and its residents are served by the Glen Cove City School District. Children who live in the City attend the Eugene J. Gribbin/ Katherine A. Deasy Elementary schools for grades K-2 (pre-k offered at Deasy), Landing/ Margaret. A. Connolly schools for grades 3–5, Robert M. Finley Middle School for grades 6–8, and Glen Cove High School for grades 9–12. Finley Middle School was one of ten NASSP Breakthrough Schools. The Glen Cove City School District's "Paired Plan" for elementary schools has the Gribbin and Connolly schools paired, as well as the Deasy and Landing schools. All students from across the city attend joint classes in the central Middle and High schools.

Private schools

There are several private educational institutions inside the city limits:

  • All Saints Regional Catholic School,[32] which closed in 2019 [49]
  • Friends Academy (preK – 12) is a Quaker-founded private school that is located within the corporation boundaries of Glen Cove but has a Locust Valley mailing address.
  • Webb Institute of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, a four-year college[33]

Government

The current mayor is Pamela Panzenbeck; this position is elected at-large. She replaced two-term Mayor Tim Tenke, who succeeded Reginald Spinello. The eight-member city council is elected from single-member districts. Panzenbeck and two-thirds of her team were elected in what many political watchers and news outlets deemed a "red wave" of Democratic candidates or incumbents losing races to their Republican competitors in a possible show of voter and constituent dissatisfaction with current government affairs and local conditions. This so-called red wave affected races all over Long Island and other New York enclaves and even (to a smaller extent) states like New Jersey, in what some see as a possible precursor of things to come in the results of the upcoming November 2022 midterm elections.[citation needed]

The town of Oyster Bay had jurisdiction over the area from the 1680s until 1917, when Glen Cove became an independent city.[5] It has its own police, fire protection, and Glen Cove Emergency Medical Services. The fire department and emergency medical services are volunteer agencies. The Office of Emergency Management is responsible for the planning, coordination, and response to natural and human-made emergencies that occur within the city of Glen Cove.

Transportation

The city of Glen Cove is served by the following mass transit services:

  • Express bus: North Fork Express offers weekday commuter service between Glen Cove and Manhattan with stops in Midtown and the Wall Street area.[37][38]

The city has long planned a ferry service direct to Midtown Manhattan. Although initially planned to launch in 2020, the launch of the service has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on transportation demand. The city now plans to start service if demand for ferry service returns. The city has put out a survey in 2022 to see if such demand exists.[39]

Nathaniel Daniel and Robert Coles and Nicholas Simkins The five young men named the settlement Musketa Cove Plantation musketa meaning place of rushes in the Lenape language 4 19th century Edit In the 1830s steamboats started regular service on Long Island Sound between New York City and Musketa Cove arriving at a point still called The Landing As Musketa was negatively associated with mosquito in 1834 residents changed the name to Glen Cove this was said to be taken from the misheard suggestion of Glencoe meaning Glencoe Scotland 5 6 Glen Cove added population as workers arrived for jobs at the Duryea Corn Starch factory which operated until 1900 The name Duryea was suggested as a name to replace Mosquito Cove but rejected 7 By 1850 Glen Cove had become a popular summer resort for New York City residents The Long Island Rail Road was extended to Glen Cove in 1867 providing quicker more frequent service to New York City The availability of the train and the town s location on Long Island Sound made it attractive to year round residents and the population increased 4 The vistas afforded of Long Island Sound from the town s rolling hills attracted late 19th century wealthy industrial barons including Charles Pratt and his sons Charles Anderson Dana as well as J P Morgan and F W Woolworth They built large private estates along the island s North Shore This expanse of settled wealth was part of what became known in the 1920s as the Gold Coast of Nassau County Part of the Morgan property was donated to the city and it now is operated as Morgan Park and Beach 4 20th century Edit On January 1 1918 Glen Cove became an independent city separating from the Town of Oyster Bay after 250 years The incorporation was driven by a desire for its tax revenues to be used locally rather than distributed throughout Oyster Bay Glen Cove at the time was an especially wealthy part of the town but the town s provisions for Glen Cove s police service and roads were seen to be inadequate given the amount of taxes levied 8 It was unusual in that it incorporated as a city without ever having been an incorporated village 9 Before the mid 20th century most of the mansions were adapted to other than residential purposes Winfield Hall the former home of F W Woolworth is privately owned Altogether five Pratt families owned a total of about 5 000 acres 20 km2 in the area John Teele Pratt s estate The Manor designed by Charles A Platt is operated as the Glen Cove Mansion Hotel and Conference Center The Braes the country estate of Herbert L Pratt was purchased by the Webb Institute in 1945 After renovation it opened the facility in 1947 as an established specialty college for naval architecture and engineering 10 George DuPont Pratt s estate Killenworth was purchased by the Soviet Union government in 1951 for use by its United Nations delegation The Russians have used it for decades to house visitors and as a weekend retreat for its UN staff When in the United States for meetings at the United Nations Nikita Khrushchev in 1960 then premier of the Soviet Union and Fidel Castro then president of Cuba separately stayed at Killenworth Like many other suburbs Glen Cove grew rapidly in population after World War II when new residential developments were completed on former pastureland and farms Many new residents were second and third generation descendants of eastern and southern European immigrants and had moved from childhood homes in Queens or Brooklyn Some African Americans were descendants of slaves from the colonial period as colonists had used slaves for domestic help and farm labor others were descendants of migrants from the South who came to New York City and the area during the Great Migration of the first half of the 20th century Since the late 20th century immigrants to the city have been generally from Latin America and eastern Asia A Sikh gurdwara established in Glen Cove draws members from the ethnic Indian
